Chapter 728: Nether Lord
The portal opened in the sky and from inside it, a white figure walked out. He was holding Eve’s unconscious body in his hands and slowly landed on the ground.
The place was crowded with goblins; it was the planet of goblins and unlike what one may expect from these dumb creatures, their houses and most of the facilities were well built. Many of them were even better than the human ones.
After all, it has been such a long time since they trespassed into human society and have been doing business with the witches. The things that were most precious to them were the creations of witches, and they were even using a lot of things in daily life.
So the news that the witches would no longer be doing business with them was quite impactful on them, even more than the death of the first prince.
Yet they couldn’t go to war with the witches, so the only solution to solve this situation was to remove the main root of the problem, and that was to kill Jayden.
The king of the beast tribe and a few of the Coven members had gathered on the goblin planet to work together and deal with Jayden and take what they all desired from him.
For the Coven, it was the Dimensional stone. For the goblins, it was revenge. For the women, it was dealing with the witches, and for the beast tribe, it was Eve, and the beast King seemed to have something else in mind too.
The white figure walked in the street as all the surrounding goblins looked at him with fear. The beast King caressed the unconscious Eve’s back. It was true that Eve was his daughter.
At the time of her birth, Bael took her away from him or rather he gave her up, but only later did he find out about the ability of that daughter of his, and it made him change his mind.
He plotted against Bael and captured him, but he didn’t find Eve. Soon he found out that Jayden was the one who was in possession of his daughter, so he did all that.
The love for his daughter was the furthest reason why he was doing all that; he wanted to have Eve’s abilities for himself. Her ability to take other beasts’ abilities is much more powerful than his own.
As he was walking, Malgor felt something wet over his hand. He looked down and was a little surprised to see that Eve’s body had transformed into a black fluid and it began to burn his hand.
Throwing the liquid away, he laughed to himself saying, “Haha, I guess he wasn’t as stupid as I had expected. This is going to be fun.” Then he proceeded to go to meet the goblin King and the Coven members and explain a few things to them.

“So, what are you planning to do now?” Hecate asked. She was feeling angry too since now this is her family too.
“I’ll take it over from here, you can go back inside there and absorb that crystal heart. I’m going to annihilate all of them,” Jayden said. Even now he was barely holding himself back from rushing in there and bringing destruction.
“No, if Xerome is still alive then they could use him as a hostage, so doing anything rash will put him and you both at risk,” Hecate spoke with worry in her voice.
“Don’t worry, I won’t attack them openly until they have Xerome, so just go back now,” Jayden said in an assuring voice. Even though Hecate felt that he just might do the opposite, she just nodded and began to walk towards the inheritance ground door.
“Call me if you need my assistance, you are not alone,” Hecate said and disappeared. After entering the inheritance ground, she explained the situation to everyone. They were all worried about Xerome, especially Viser since they both are like brothers.
“He must be alive, they won’t kill a precious hostage so easily, so you should all just focus on your training for now,” Hecate said at the end. They nodded and sat away from each other. Then, taking out their dragon heart crystal, they began to absorb it.
…
“Dealing with all three of them at the same time isn’t going to be easy, do you have some plan?” Anna asked.
Even though she isn’t part of the family, she was worried about Xerome. He does act stupid, but things won’t be as fun without him.
“Yes, I do have plans. First of all, it’s time to become the Lord of this place,” Jayden spoke as he looked around at the purple space around him. He was still quite far away from absorbing enough Nether aura, so he decided to do it forcefully.
He looked over the tattoo on his arm and caressed Eve’s head. Even though the beast King’s involvement was mostly because of her, Jayden was not blaming her and he was never going to exchange one family member for another.
“Are you sure you want to do this? Becoming the Nether Lord will certainly increase your strength quite a bit, but doing it in such a manner could be dangerous.
I still think doing it the normal way is the best approach, your current strength is not weak at all,” Anna suggested, but it is almost impossible to change his mind once he has decided on something.
“It’s fine. I feel I can achieve it, and I need to be even higher than my peak if I want to protect my family. This time, I’m going to let go of my control.” Saying that, Jayden closed his eyes as his body slowly began to float in the air.
“Just be careful,” Anna mumbled, feeling frustrated after a long time that she couldn’t move.
Jayden’s body rose higher and higher into the sky, and after reaching a certain height, his body stopped. He stretched both his arms on either side of his body and then began his ascension to become the Nether Lord.
From all over the Nether World, energy could be seen rushing into his body. At first, the amount was normal and the speed wasn’t too fast. Then Jayden used the Demonic Devouring Arts, and in the next moment, energy began to rush madly towards him from all over the place.
For an instant, the sky seemed to have been dried of any color and the ground looked barren.
The energy concentration was extremely high and the amount was not less than the dragon aura in his body if not more. Everything seemed to have stopped for a second.
And then, it all rushed into his body. Through the pores in his body, the energy entered in an incredible amount. If his defenses had not increased by so much, he would have already exploded.
Still, Jayden felt as if his body was about to burst from the inside. His skin was barely holding in. His heart was beating madly and the amount of energy inside his body kept increasing with each passing moment.
